About
<Blue Moon> is a progression raiding guild on US Ner'zhul,
which is part of the Bloodlust Battlegroup. Blue Moon is one of the
longest standing raiding guilds dating back to MC and continues to
be a top guild on Ner’zhul. We are a guild that is focused on
downing the most difficult content in a competitive fashion, while
maintaining a schedule that is conducive to life outside of
progression raiding (i.e. alt raids and achievements... and work
and family, yes, yes). The officers and core are singularly focused
on returning Blue Moon to the top 100 US (and beyond). If you're a
player who knows they have the kind of self-discipline, dedication,
and skill to help make that happen, please apply.

What we look for in our raiders
- Raiders with a constant interest in self-improvement on every
conceivable metric (damage done, damage taken, interrupts,
dispells, healing done, etc...).
- Raiders who can and *do* read WoL parses to figure out where
themselves and the raid can make improvements.
- Raiders who are *aware* of their situation and can *optimize*
their play even in "random", rapidly changing environments.
- Raiders who are excited by farm content, and view it as an
opportunity to improve upon raid and personal bests. Excelling at
farm content is important to us -- optimizing performance in a farm
setting is the practice that we'll call upon when working on
progression content.
- Raiders who are respectful and helpful toward those with whom
they play.
- Raiders who show up on time and fully prepared for raids (bring
pots, flasks, understanding of all fight mechanics).
- Raiders that can communicate effectively, the onus is on everyone
to coordinate 25 people.

Expectations:
WoL
All applicants should exhibit exceptional skill and knowledge of
the class they play. The best way to "prove" this is to supply WoL
parses and an explanation as to why they are or aren't exceptional
-- if they're not, give specific reasons things weren't as good as
they could have been and explain what you or your raid could have
done to fix them. Gear is not a requirement (see below), but
obviously it will help you provide more impressive parses with
fewer qualifications like "well, if I had better gear, then I would
do more dps..."

Gear
Gear is not essential to an application. We can easily tell from a
parse and your equipped gear whether or not you're getting close to
your potential for the setup you have. That said, it is assumed you
have been running the new Cata raids since becoming 85. In that
amount of time, it should not have been difficult to attain enough
gear to be ready for heroic encounters and have it optimally gemmed
and enchanted.

Attendance
We are only recruiting raiders that have a desire to raid.
Therefore, applicants must be able to maintain a 75%+ attendance.
We understand that everyone has obligations outside of wow, hence
occasional absents are permitted. You must have 100% attendance
during your trial.
